[Q] Multi window does not work

Hello,
The multi window option of my GN3 doesn't work, the bar on the left hand side does not appear when i keep pressing the return button.
Of course, the multi window option is activated in the settings.
By the way, my GN3 is rooted.
Can someone help me fixing this problem ?

Check if the multiwindow toggle is on at notification or quick toggle menu.

Did you freeze com.sec.android.app.FlashbarService, by any chance?
If yes, that's the multiwindow bar you froze.
If no, are you long-pressing return or just clicking it? You need to hold return, not click it.

Peculiar. What it does for me when I press Multi Window is a cycle of three settings:
1. Show the (<| toggle (bad graphical representation) on the right (or left) side in the middle of screen.
2. Hide the toggle completely
3. Show the bar.
Try clearing the cache and data on com.sec.android.app.FlashbarService. If that doesn't help, try wiping the system cache in recovery.

I did that as well and i wiped the cache partition but it still doesn't work..
Another solution ?

Other than a factory reset, sadly no.

That is what i dreaded...
What if i install the flashbarservice apk of this thread ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451914
Will it work and is there a dangier for my phone if i do that operation ?

I tried to reset my phone with a rom stock thanks to Odin but it didn't work. I think that the method that i followed was not correct.
Can you tell me how to reset my phone with Odin ?

Nobody can help me ?

I'm waiting for solution too. .. but my case is it kept force close the flashbar service.

Hey Folks,
i did not want to open a new thread for this topic, so i searched and added my problem to this existing thread.
Since a few days my Note 3 (N9005) is also not able to use Multi Window.
The Option in Settings is not highlighted and can not be turned to "on" anymore.
S Pen Window works (but only with standard apps like calculator, browser etc.)
Screenshot of Quick Settings: (Notice gray background of the symbol)

I did not change anything in the last few weeks (only a new microSD (32GB))
Everything Stock, no Root, Official 4.4.2
Maybe there is a solution other than factory reset
Thanks a lot!
Greetings

Just reinstall MultiWindowTrayService and FlashBarService...

Ok,
that sound easy. But where do i find these services?
i took a look around in the file system, but did not find anything.
can you maybe share a link for the .apk´s from a reliable source!?
Edit:
After trying some .apk´s (from android host) they all respond with "app could not be installed".
Any other ideas maybe?
i dont want to restore my device/data but it seems like it is the only option.
Thanks a Lot!
greetings

[BUG] Google dialer

Bug in google dialer - white/blank screen after first click number pad. After second click it is OK... (build with Android 4.4.3).
11.jpg - first click.
22.jpg - second click (after back button).
That issue is in my phone from timeee ago (from 4.3). Fresh install ROM (with super/hiper full wipe). Before sync with google is OK, but after sync it is NOT OK.
I've found:
"Oliver • 11 days ago
Updated to 4.3, but the "Dialpad" bug is still present on my Nexus 4. Well bug, maybe it's a feature? Problem is whenever I open Dialer, and want to dial number directly from dialpad, first touch on the dialpad icon does nothing, just some weird screen behaviour, and only second attempt works.
Anybody have similar problems?"
"Yes, it works. Shows me the local Walmarts in the area (we don't have Walgreens here). You can also choose between several providers for forward and reverse lookup (Google, Whitepages, Yellowpages, etc both USA and CA versions). It also doesn't have that annoying bug the CM11 dialer does where I need to hit the dialpad icon twice to get the keyboard to show up (first time it's blank, second time it's got the full dialpad digits)"
but not any solutions.
Do You know any solution for that problem?

please share the dialer you are using so i can test

And dialer in CM11, MAHDI ROMs.

Next user:
"Hello
It happens exactly the same. I made ​​full wipe twice and still the same thing happening to me.
The dialer is blank and I have to touch two times in the icon.
I wipe performed with nigthly's in May and now in June.
I've tried 3 different launcher and nothing at the time that update the google play services, the dialer is broken.
Is there any solution please?
thank you"

I've found solution for that - change animator duration scale to 0.5 (do not turn it off).
After switch it OFF problem with google dialer apears.
Do You confirm that?

Galaxy S4 i9505 clock stuck when screen locks

Hi,
I have a strange issue with my galaxy s4 i9505, lollipop. My clock get stuck when I lock my screen. And time does not update even when screen is unlocked i.e the clock starts from the same time when screen was locked. For example if I lock my screen at 10:00 am, and if after one hour I unlock the screen, the clock will start from 10:00 am instead of 11:00 am. I tried searching on the internet but I could not find any help regarding this. However there were discussion about the lag of one or two second about the time update when screen unlocks. Any ideas about this??

Factory reset, I guess.

Do you have automatic date & time enabled?

I had something a little similar, but it included all my widgets. are you using go launcher or a go product like next3d launcher ? the problem persisted thru different firmwares and launcher updates. I had to go into the launcher and stop it so that it would restart itself. sorry that I don't have a solution, I never got to the bottom of the issue, it simply stopped happening at some point and I'm not even sure why...

Yes, I tried both enabling and disabling it, issue stays as it is. Currently it is enabled. I have no clue what's wrong. It is so annoying

Apps not showing on home screen

Hey guys, I will try to find include as much info as I can. I have Google play loaded on the device. I tried to uninstall an app and the icon remained, trying to uninstall it again gives me a pop-up about the app files do not exsist. Ever since then if i install an app from either the play store or the Amazon app store they will not show up on the main screen. The apps are there and I can remove them via settings. I have tried a hard reset as well as reinstalling the initial app that caused the problem. When I do that the app icon works again but no new apps show up still. If I uninstall it again it does the same thing as the first time, the icon stays.
I was hoping there was something running in the background i can clear the data for or something to fix this. I do not know enough about it to tinker around with it. I have some stuff downloaded from Google play that i cannot backup. A factory reset will lose the data on those accounts so I am trying to avoid it.
If you have any suggestions I will gladly try them, thank you in advance for your help

Mine is doing the same today, I've uninstalled it but the icon remains on the screen. I've also tried others that I've installed from Google play, all behave the same.

Are new apps that you install showing up? I cannot get any new app to appear.

Settings, ,,, apps & games,,,,,manage all applications, ,,, Running ,,,, press the three dots on top of the screen to show cached processes. Open SHOW CACHED PROCESSES, ,,,,,select Home Pages icon,,,,, select STOP... GO TO HOME PAGE AND IT IS FIXED

Same issue happening on my Fire HD 10. No newly downloaded apps showing on home screen, and icons for uninstalled apps are grayed out. Tried clearing the home screen cache, but no luck.

This might be somewhat related. Please try the following trick to see if it helps:
(1). Settings --> Apps & Games --> Manage All Applications
(2). Swipe left in order to display "ALL" applications and then scroll down to select the application named "Home Pages"
(3). Tap "CLEAR CACHE" and then "FORCE STOP"

Clearing the data and cache for the home screens did finally work for me! I had to reorganize all my apps on the home screen, but not a big deal.

huge thanks for that.

Thanks! I had the same issue today, and I did the above steps twice for it to take hold. All fixed now! :good:

cant create folder shortcut
Sorry to wake this thread up, but I can't seem to create a shortcut to a folder on my sd card on the fire hd8 tablet for kids. I have downloaded many different file explorers, have used them to create a shortcut, they say the shortcut has been created and is on home screen, but the folder shortcut never shows up on the home screen. Any help please....
